New Delhi: "Ensure that the figure of not relived transferees up to May 24 should be zero," read a letter sent from the Office of Commissioner of Police to senior officers in the city police.

One Additional Commissioner of Police told senior officers it has been noticed that approx 1,063 transferees (upper and lower subordinates) up to May 24 have not been relived so far, despite clear directions passed by senior officers in headquarters.
"In this regard, senior officers in headquarters have taken a serious view and ordered that all the transferees who are under the order of transfer up to May 24 must be relieved immediately without waiting for their substitutes and sanctioning any kind of leave except those whose requests for cancellation of transfer/held in abeyance in a very special case have been recommended by concerned districts, units," Additional CP told senior officers.
Senior officers were directed that the figure of not relived transferees up to May 24 must be zero and the status of transferees will be submitted before the Commissioner of Police in review meeting which will be held on June 23.
